Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am a second-grade teacher at a wonderful Title I school in the New York City. I have been teaching in this wonderful school for twenty-six years. The students will benefit from a laptop that can work properly with a promethean board. I use the promethean board on a daily basis for SEL read aloud for go noodle used to calm my students down, for our math visual learning lessons, for our interactive student books. Having a new, improved laptop will help me teach my students without a glitch or network, and technical issues because I have a old device that constantly needs upgrading.

I feel blessed to teach these young curious minds but at times overwhelmed with the difficulties presented to me such as not having a working laptop on a daily basis.

This laptop will help me in connecting, teaching, and providing social-emotional support to my students in their learning. Our school is big on Social Emotional Learning. I will be able to use the laptop along with my promethean board to present videos with read aloud based on SEL books, movies, and have kids complete activities. Having a new laptop that can actually work well with the promethean board will allow me to provide better quality lessons to my students.

Thank you in advance for your consideration to fund.
